Brazil records 6 deaths from Covid and 737 cases of the disease

Brazil recorded 6 deaths from Covid and 737 cases of the disease, this Sunday (6). With this, the country reaches 688,425 lives lost and 34,892,871 people infected since the beginning of the pandemic.

The moving average of deaths now stands at 39 per day, down 36% from two weeks ago. The moving average of cases is at 3,744 per day – a 32% reduction in the same period.

During weekends, some states do not release updated data. As of Sunday, only nine states reported new cases or deaths. Therefore, the consolidated numbers of the pandemic on weekends are usually lower.

The country data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between SheetUOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and publish the numbers related to the new coronavirus pandemic.

The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the State Health Departments.

The consortium of press vehicles stopped updating the numbers of vaccinated against Covid-19 on weekends and holidays. On working days, the data will be updated normally. The measure aims to avoid inaccuracies in the numbers provided to the reader.

The change occurs due to problems in the consolidation of vaccination data by state secretariats. Several states do not update the total number of vaccinated on weekends and holidays, and even those that do sometimes report outdated numbers, which do not correspond to reality and are usually corrected in the following days.
